Having read the articles in the current issue of
Sports Illustrated on professional basketball player Jason Collins coming out as gay, I
decided I would like to comment.

Tolerance today is viewed only in the context of “be tolerant of everything or you are
hate-filled.”

I have friends who are gay, but they know I do not support the lifestyle. Do I believe in gay
marriage?

No.

Why? Marriage is thousands of years old, and by its very nature was meant for procreation. LGBT
people can't do that. They can adopt or have surrogates, but absolutely cannot procreate. So using
the term
marriage does not make it marriage. Any term they want to use other than marriage will
work.

All in all, people are different in so many ways. We do not need new laws every year demanding
everyone to think the same way on everything.
